Show Notes

  • Germany and France have proposed a €500 billion bailout for coronavirus relief—the first time these leading European nations have approved using EU-wide financial resources to help member states. It could prove to be a significant step toward Europe becoming a superstate.
  • Information about the Obama administration’s attack on Michael Flynn now shows that it was aimed at preventing Flynn from sabotaging the Iran nuclear deal, showing how committed former President Barack Obama was to empowering Iran.
  • China is again tightening its authoritarian grip on Hong Kong, cracking down on protesters, restricting its legislature, and introducing a new law that would effectively end Hong Kong’s autonomy.
  • We also talk about the Palestinian Authority lashing out over Israel’s intent to implement the Middle East Peace Plan, Russia strengthening its naval presence in the Baltic Sea, Germany increasing its use of drones, and Donald Trump courting the Catholic vote.
